Why is an ICS degree considered important or valuable for those desiring to work cross-culturally?

Businesses and mission agencies have learned through the years that not everyone is able to thrive in a cross-cultural environment. Our mission is to equip our ICS students to not only survive, but thrive in these work and ministry settings. Of course, their ultimate focus is to use their work arena for the glory of God and the accomplishment of His mission on earth.
